<p>they did that just to spite me, but hey, i got in, so i'm not complaining ;)</p>

<p>isn't uchicago going to use commonapp next year as well? all the pain in the neck ones are switching...</p>

5

<p>grrrr....I could have applied to Harvard and Cornell as well...not that it matters...</p>

<p>b/c...</p>

<p>I LOVE STANFORD!!! :D</p>

<p>I hope Stanford does not dispense with their long essay, which was far better than the other supplemental essays I wrote.</p>

<p>Wow.. I actually liked Stanford's app a LOT better than the common app. The word-count-cutting-you-off thing was annoying, but I liked having 4 essays. It gave you a chance to show them more of yourself than the CommonApp does I feel.</p>

8

<p>so can we still use the Stanford app?</p>

9

<p>I don't know if it's going to be optional or if they're going to use the common app exclusively. I kinda like Stanford's app too but I guess they're going for convenience.</p>

<p>yeah I don't know how I feel about that considering my common app essay for 5 of my schools was SO MUCH BETTER than my Stanford long essay...
but then again, I wrote the new one AFTER I got rejected... so... yeah.... Idk...
still a sore spot though :(</p>

<p>Wow Stanford's doing the CommonApp?? Add to that the fact that Harvard and Pton dropped the early application and next year's acceptance rate is going to plummet!</p>
